INFO FOR COMICS: Submissions to be considered for the January edition of "Chet Wild's Comedy Showcase" at The Comedy Club in Rochester are now being taken.  This showcase will be filmed and sets may be aired on MY-TV.  E-mails should be sent to me no later than 12noon this Sunday.  Full information is available on the Open Mic & Showcase page.
First off, shout outs to Alfred University for this past weekend.  I had a blast opening for J. Chris Newberg this past weekend... even if I was introduced as "Child Wet" instead of "Chet Wild."  I will probably post a YouTube clip of that soon.

This Thursday (7:30pm) and Friday (7:30pm  & 10pm) I'll be opening for Bobby Slayton at The Comedy Club in Rochester.  Bobby just filmed a new 1-hour special for Showtime last month and if you haven't seen him live... well, let's just say there's a reason they call him "The Pitbull of Comedy."  I'm really pumped for these shows and am hoping I can get him to sit down for an episode of Behind The Funny.  If you're in town, make sure you get your tickets now, as the club anticipates these being sell-out shows.

On Saturday at 7:00pm I'll be hosting "BS Live" at Buffalo State College, a Saturday Night Live style sketch show that is serving as a final project for graduates of the Television Films Arts program.  Here's the show description:

If you can imagine Saturday Night Live meets Buffalo State, then you’ve got the idea. Television and Films Arts (TFA) majors have written scripts, produced videos, and coordinated all phases of a live TV show to be taped in front of a studio audience.

The show’s executive producer is Brooke Rewa, a TFA graduating senior who worked closely with a Communication Department advance production class for all technical support. BS Live will showcase hilarious skits and pre-produced videos. The show’s host, student and local comedy club performer Chet Wild, will keep the audience entertained between acts.

The show is looking to be pretty kickass.  I've seen the short films they've put together for the show and they are killer.  Plus, you get to see me host, do stand-up, and hopefully (not) forget any of my lines in the 3 sketches I'm in.  The show starts at 7:00pm.  Get there early to ensure a seat, there's no set ticket price, just donations at the door.

Just for fun, if you haven't seen it - watch the new video put out by Muppet Studio.... it's The Muppets taking on Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"... Animal's part is an instant classic.  Enjoy.
Lastly, I've updated my calendar with a bunch of shows for 2010.  Take a look.... catch ya at a show soon!
